Lets start a mindless list of all the things you hate about apple

I'm sure there are good things about apple. I sell Macs at work so I have to say good things about apple so I can get my $25 comission. This thread isn't about that however. This thread is a VENT thread. I want to hear all the things you hate, can't stand, dislike or are slightly irritated by - when it comes to anything apple.
Apple fanboys - with any luck there are sure to be a lot of baseless accusations, arguments without due grounds and all sorts of logical fallicies. There may even be embrassing pictures of Steve Jobs if we're lucky enough. However I just would like you to keep in mind we don't want any but's. No "But actually it doesn't", no "They fixed that in version 7" ect. The only butt allowed is if someone posts a picture of Steve Jobs mooning preschoolers.
If you want to, start a thread about why apple roxor your soxor, but please, give us space to vent!
I'll start:
I hate yuppies using an iPhone as a status symbol, and every single god damm person that sees my phone (HTC Touch Pro2) asking me either "Why didn't you get an iPhone" or "Is that some kind of iPhone knockoff?"

I hate people buying Iphones because they think there the best thing ever.

I hate Apple for making so dam good products that people need to make stupid and pointless threads like this each and every time they release a new magic device then every f***ing ignorant idiot jumps on that wagon where 99% haven't even tried using an apple product.

good day.

I hate Apple product users because they think that once they buy a product from Apple that they had to pay out the ass for, they think they're the best in the world. Those things are horrible, over-simplistic devices. I'm glad I have my Touch Pro 2.

it's because the iPhone.....is their "precious"

I hate the way apple purposely Design the phone so that features standard in every other phone, are not there or DO NOT WORK. Eg bluetooth: only works for other iphones. SD card slot has already been mentioned, Itunes is annoying to use, No USB ports, and this is only just a start on its flaws. Why Don't many reviewers mention these flaws? Impartiality seems to go out the window when apple is involved.
I also dislike the free adverising apple gets when major companies adveritse their new iphone apps, or iphone only promotions. It would be fine if they advertised it in conjunction with their apps for other phone brands, but they dont. This just contributes to the misconception that iphone is the only phone with any support.

honestly though, he bought the iphone for a stupid amout of money.. he give me it to play with, after 10 mins i gave it him back and said it was sh*t..
* the look on his face was a picture for the funny pictures thread lol

A few years back my friend bought a Mac desktop for $5000... My $2500 pc runs circles around it .
How about such "innovative" features such as a front facing camera or multitasking (my G1 could multitask for Pete's sake). At least you get to hold yer iphone 4 in an "innovative" manner.

Crash Different
this says it all

I hate Apple because they...
1. Make up marketing terms to make it look like they invented stuff that they didn't.
a. "Retina display". WTF? I wasn't aware there was a limit on how dense pixels can be. If you listen to Steve, it's as if they made a huge technological breakthrough so that we can finally have a 326dpi screen.
Newsflash: The Toshiba G900 had a 313dpi screen. It was released in 2007.
b. "Face Time". WTF? It's called "video calling". And it's been around for as long as I can remember 3G being around. Plus, Apple's implementation doesn't even work over cellular network. When it finaly does, it'll be another new "feature".
2. Introduce rudimentary features that have been around for years and then make it sound like they're new and awesome.
a. These were not available until 2009. MMS, cut-copy-paste, video recording, camera autofocus.
b. These were not available until 2010. Wallpaper, camera flash, multitasking, folders.

1. Their PR lies; about stats, about innovation, about anything
2. Jobs is a psycho
3. They make products for the technologically retarded and I am not technologically retarded
4. They lie
5. They lie
6. They are fanned by 1000000 douche bags across the US
7. They lie
Apple blows. Steve Jobs needs to die already.

Loving the contributions guys, keep em comming.
I hate how people always assume that there are more apps on an iphone - the Windows Mobile platform has been around for 10years, is completely open and anyone can install any software on their phone. There is no way apple ever will have an edge when they strange their software developers.
I hate how people will spend more money on a mac product that does exactly the same (if not less) as a similar product, because its 'apple'.
The iphone is like McDonalds. It tastes good (to they majority), its always the same (dependable) you have a great range (of whats on the menu) and anyone can hand over money and enjoy their food.
Windows Mobile is like cooking. If you don't know what your doing, you're going to be boiling 2minute noodles and not be that impressed compared to a happy meal. However if you're willing to learn about cooking, to put the time and effort into finding out what you can do with different ingrediants, how to put them together - then you can make an absolutely amazingly delicious meal for a fraction of the cost of takeaway food
Sure you can't just get delicious food if you're not willing to put the time in, but if you are? You can get something that meets your every craving and satisfies all your tastes!

The People on the WP7 section.....

Hello everyone. I've been reading up on the WP7 section this week, and certain people over there are really angering me. Namely, "Wincape" RustyGrom" and "satshef". They are always boasting how great WP7 will be, while it may become a great thing when released we honestly don't know. Everytime someone brings Android up they go completely crazy and in some sort of "denial" thing that seems like an act of jealousy to me. Here is an example.

Yes, because Android is low-end phones, and is more considered a take on Symbian than iPhone, in the first place. Android's success is due to most devices it's sold on is cheap hardware

Now those for sure are total lies. Android was made to compete with iPhone, just like everything else is in America. These are the type of bashing comments they make when Android is mentioned. They never point out any benefits it may have, just negative things or negative assumptions.
I have nothing against any of the smartphone OS's out their since I have pretty much used all of them. So, this isn't really a big deal to me, but It just makes me mad a little bit. Android has many benefits, just like WM (which I loved), IOS and the others.
BTW: I recyled this thread from an old thread, so..... If it crashes and burns I didn't waste space

Great you edited this thread instead creating a new one!!!
You are making some progress here
Don´t take any comment as personal, remember we are more than 2 mill members and some of them, like me, show their love to WP7 and don´t give a cent for Android
You have to respect that, so move on and don´t make this affect your sensible llama heart...

Is that your scarf and mustaches?

There seems to be more drama and flaming in the Android forums than elsewhere. WinMo folks seem more uhh... civilized. Now I have not spent much time reading in the WP7 forums so I can't comment on that.

Oh, I know.... WM people are mello.... I still use it (did for years) But the WP7 people think they know all about it and it's gonna be better because of these "hubs" and everyones gonna be worshiping it..... They are so vicious..... I'm not one to defend a platform, or anything but it annoys me. Who cares who is on top or not. If you like it, your still going to use it regardless if it's popular ot not. It's just a phone

^^Amen to that. It all comes down to personal preferences. No need to be a jerk because someone uses a device or platform you don't like (even an iphone).

Android tablet = ipad??!?!

Fun fact, when i walk down the street with my android tablet (nook color running [email protected] 1.1ghz) people actually come up to me and ask "is that an ipad?"...
Does this happen to anyone else? And more importantly, what should i do next time it happens?

I have an old HP 2710p used for work and people ask me if it's an ipad.
I just tell them no, it's much older and can do so much more than an ipad.

Hmm... That's funny.. When I walk with an iPad I get asked if it's a nook lol
Say, No it's better, and awesome, and does more Shiz xD

Tell them it's an iPad 3, and watch the reaction.

I like that Android is trying to compete but come on the ipad 2 is just the bomb it works better runs better, much sleeker design and has amazing battery life not to mention the endless amounts of good apps with good graphics and Apples wonderful iOS.
So when someone asks you tell them No its not an iPad, but I wish I had one.

The future is bleak for both consumers and devs alike if Apple gets its way. It's enforcing 30% of recurring subscriptions already. If we let Apple continue doing that, we'd be facing a lot of problems.

What you need to do is buy an iPad.........
Whoa whoa whoa dont start flaming yet, let me finish
Like I said...... buy an iPad, that way whenever someone looks at your nook (anyone else think that sounds dirty ) and says;
"blurble wurble iPad schleep???"
You can calmly put the nook away, then take out the iPad and say;
"No, THIS is an ipad.......let me show you the difference....."
Thats when you smack them across the face with the iPad and start screaming;
"Can you feel how light it is?? Can you??? How do you like that front facing camera huh???..... The battery lasts for 10 hours of me smashing you in the face AND making crap with Garageband.... AWESOME HUH???"
Someone will probably have interviened/phoned the cops by this point.
Make sure you take the iPad to jail with you in case your cellmate doesnt know the difference....

Post about Doctor Who stuff here

Yay! We seriously needed a Whovian thread :good:
Isn't the rest of season 7 set for around Easter? Merlin was supposed to be the gap filler for Doctor Who, and that's ended, so... Wonder if there's anything known yet (proooobably not. Usually about 2 weeks beforehand..)
I still think David Tennant was way better than Matt Smith, by the way. Since we all know we're going to have this discussion anyway I figured I might as well start off early.
Also, I think the newest Christmas Special was Moffat's not-so-silent protest against Peter Jackson for stealing his two main actors from his other show. Still, haven't laughed that hard in weeks... :laugh:

Not been interested since Matt Smith took over.
Every episode I catch to give it another chance seems to just have him frantically waving his sonic screwdriver around like a magic wand.
I remember when it used to only be used for unlocking doors, and only those that weren't locked with the power of script.
As for the last appearance of The Master, WTF? Sniveling whiny prat. Even Eric Roberts did a better job.
They should have cast Timothy Dalton as The Master instead.

I completely agree about David Tennant. And the Christmas Special was cool, it's got me looking forward to the rest of the series

I made my phone into a mini-TARDIS and I want to make a theme for Apex/etc for it some time, when I feel less lazy and think up some ideas.
I'm putting together an 11 costume for a convention because I'm cheap, didn't want to sew, and have a friend who agreed to dress up as Amy.
I'm bargaining with my friend to make me a 4 scarf because I believe you can't just buy them, they need to be made with love.

I should certainly hope it was sarcasm...
If it was made in the US there would be 90% less plot, 80% more romance, 30% more sex, 200% more unoriginal clichés, all characters would be as flat as a penny and the plot would have more holes than a Swiss cheese. Also, it would probably star Tom Cruise as the Doctor.
Oh, and the Daleks would be Middle Eastern or Russian, depending on the year it was filmed in..

If it was made in the US there would be 90% less plot, 80% more romance, 30% more sex, 200% more unoriginal clichés, all characters would be as flat as a penny and the plot would have more holes than a Swiss cheese. Also, it would probably star Tom Cruise as the Doctor.
Oh, and the Daleks would be Middle Eastern or Russian, depending on the year it was filmed in..

lol the only problem with that logic is the fact that apart from a few shows like Doctor Who (and anime) the rest of the world doesn't make good movies or TV shows.

O, Doctor Who has plenty of things people complain about and I've seen quite a few good American TV shows. I actually grew up with Star Trek, not Doctor Who - although Tom Baker was one of the reasons I finally agreed to try Doctor Who.
Doctor Who changes things all the time, it just has the benefit of the spirit of work like Douglas Adams (who was in fact involved for a bit) - of being able to make ridiculous changes and get a pass because it's science fantasy. Lots of the hard science fans complain about lack of hard science, although I think that's like complaining that they don't kill enough people in Disney movies.
Blink was one of my favourite New Who episodes, and I really hated what they did in the later two-parter with 11. They would have been pretty good episodes on their own, but they really ruined the Angels for me, it made them so much less terrifying - which wouldn't have happened if they had just stuck to their original conception and "rules".
Doctor Who is lucky because it's format is like Star Trek - it has the benefit of being able to do an episodic or serial format without having to worry quite so much about over-arching plot because you can easily take time out and have a "Holodeck episode" or go to another planet or whatever and focus on a unique story that will be gone within the next 24-42 minutes.
I'm actually watching an American show right now, it's struggling a bit now that they've switched from that sort of episodic format to more of a focus on the "background" plot, but they're still standing. LOST did a good job with what it had to work with, too.
IN OTHER NEWS MY SONIC SCREWDRIVER ARRIVED THAT A FRIEND GOT ME FOR CHRISTMAS.
So, not to be rude, but let's keep this thread about Who appreciation or good-natured critique of it - not liking Who at the expense of whole other countries (and I'm saying that as someone who bought a DVD box set of Jeeves and Wooster).
SO ANYWAY.
Favourite Doctor ? Favourite Companion ?
I'd say 4 is my favourite doctor, and all the Rs - River, Rose, and Romana for companions. And I guess Rory, too for the hell of it.

Well, my fav's definitely 10, and River is absolutely hilarious. Amy was great, too. (Rose bored me.)
Blink is still one of the greatest episodes of the new series. It's what eventually led to Moffat taking over from RTD as showrunner. (Which nobody minded. That whole Timelord-victorious crap was starting to get more than a little boring.)

Well, I never said the rest of the world did. Fact is they generally don't.
But the last 10 years or some the BBC makes shows with a lot more original content and plots than Hollywood does.. Think
Top Gear,
Sherlock (Don't get me started on Elementary.),
Merlin,
Robin Hood,
Torchwood (okay, that's a Dr Who spinoff.)
Parade's End (That was hilarious...),
The Office (US is a remake.),
Being Human (Again, US is a remake.),
Strike Back (US took over after S1),
Inspector Lynley Mysteries,
Life on Mars (Lol if you watched Dr Who s3's ending)..
List goes on...
Yes, the US has plenty of great shows (i'm only counting since about 2000.), but most are all either A) Character Dramas, or B) Purely Action. It's very, very rare to find a balanced show with great characters, great actors, excellently thought out plots, original ideas, good visualisation and humour. And when they do finally get one, they cancel it because it's not "What the audience needs." (*cough*, Firefly....)
And no, Game of Thrones is not a good argument, don't bother.

Leela has to be my favourite companion
Sally Sparrow would have made a great companion too.

Anyone got out of the friendzone?

So yeah,you look at the line up and already know what is it about.So c'mon let's hear all of you who turned superheroes and manage to overpass or should I say "root" your friendzone relationship.Anyone actually done it?

if you find yourself in the friendzone and you don't want to be in there, then you need to stop acting like you're in there, you need to be physically escalating and doing all the things someone sexually interested would be doing. If she's resisting and giving you the "I'm sorry, we're just friends" bit, tell her something along the lines of "sorry I didn't mean to lead you on and give you the vibe that I wanted to be just friends" <- this is funny because now you appear the one who was leading her on, instead of her leading you on. Granted, this kind of behavior might end your friendship with this person, but in reality do you really want to keep being strung along? My experience with that is its very emotionally draining, it's usually not worth the friendship.
if you legitimately value your friendship with this person and don't want it to end, I would still try to escalate when you can but you need to keep her on the back burner and go date other people that will solve all your problems
but I'm not really an expert on dating in fact I'm ****ing terrible with women, but I was once friendzoned for six years and then finally got to **** her, but I had a lot of help from friends and it involved social manipulation (girl I knew pretended to be interested in me so friendzone girl got jealous and we ended up ****ing... it's all very dumb)

Woww as I can see that's the point.Nah anyways I'm starting to think my plan is working.You see I was friendzoned for 6 freaking months,till a 1 month ago,where I told her everything.So she actually after was still talking to me,even that she said that this will change everything and it's not the way she feels about me.So than I started chilling her out and,now she is looking att me smiles at me and I kinda feel weird even though that's the girl I want.So about a week ago unfriended her from FB,blocked her on Twitter,and she freaked out and tweeted "you eill regret for letting me go".And yeah,I feel like a di** a little bit,and I'm gonna go on a date eith this new girl,I have a feeling that she will freak out there.So ****ed up yeah for sure,but hey on the bright side,If I don't make with this date I will get her in my arms.Proudly said by di**.

Yep. It sucks 4rse to be friend zoned. But I kept trying. Got the chick. Still got it last time I checked.

Yes, nothing is hotter than a desperate sociopath. Maybe you should move on.

We're considered hot these days? Also, psychopaths murder people, sociopaths simply don't care about people. (I do not walk around carrying an axe trying to chop off as many heads as possible.) Rather significant difference

I was best friends with the mother of my daughter and son for 2yrs. Then she realized the guy she was looking for, the man who was with her no matter what happened, was right there in front of her. We were friends but she knew I liked her because I asked her out a couple weeks after we met. So I think it's best to tell them in the beginning. But that's just my story.

that sarcasm......i like it.:silly:
ya..i have done that 2 times already. i am quite sure that the girl will leave her current boyfriend. he is no good except that his father is rich. a dumb*ss who got into college just because of sports quota. she will realize that soon and then its a win win.
@OP. change the topic to Relationship advice. we are getting new threads on it every now and then. people will have a place to put up their problem without flooding the forum with new threads.
